Nvidia’s CEO lays out his vision of what the next 10 years will look like — and his simple advice to young people

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has a vision for the future — and some advice for the generations that will have to navigate it.

In a recently released interview on Cleo Abram’s “Huge Conversations,” recorded on January 7, Huang said he expected massive leaps in what he called “human robotics” within the next half decade and a broadening in the applications of artificial intelligence.

Multiple companies across both the US and China, among other countries, are working to launch and scale the production of humanoid robots for use in manufacturing and consumer applications.

Does Dispositionalism Entail Panpsychism?

According to recent arguments for panpsychism, all (or most) physical properties are dispositional, dispositions require categorical grounds, and the only categorical properties we know are phenomenal properties. Therefore, phenomenal properties can be posited as the categorical grounds of all (or most) physical properties—in order to solve the mind–body problem and/or in order avoid noumenalism about the grounds of the physical world. One challenge to this case comes from dispositionalism, which agrees that all physical properties are dispositional, but denies that dispositions require categorical grounds. In this paper, I propose that this challenge can be met by the claim that the only (fundamentally) dispositional properties we know are phenomenal properties, in particular, phenomenal properties associated with agency, intention and/or motivation.
